Synopsis


The University of Miami's School of Communication collected narratives of residents of the West Coconut Grove neighborhood during this year's historic presidential elections, bringing in underrepresented voices to the forefront of the project. About 40 people documented through audio, photos and video the emotions surrounding Election Day and stories of hope told by a small African American community, who voiced their perspectives and pride on a historic day in American politics.
